The Columbia Philharmonic
Orchestra, conducted by Arpad
Darazs, inaugurated its annual
series of concerts with a well
ballanced and competently per
formed program Tuesday night at
the Dreher High School
Auditorium.
Featured works were Copland's
"An Outdoor Overture" and
Mozart's "Symphony No. 39 in E
Flat," both essentially optimistic,
and Kodaly's "Dances of Galanta"
and Liszt's "Les Preludes," both
colorful, dynamic and somewhat

broodingly uncertain in tone.
Darazs reproduced the optimism
of "An Outdoor Overture" by
carefully controlling the drama
and, the lyricism of the com
position. Particularly outstanding
were the brasses, the orchestra's
strong-point partially covering for
the occasional raggedness of the
strings.
The infinitely more demanding
Mozart symphony was performed
competently although the second
movement and the minuet were
allowed to drag. There the viglins

Darazs's interpretation of
"Dances of Galanta" was indeed
triumphant. Its two featured solo
clarinet cadenzas were out
standing and professionally per

Despite a weakness with the
French horn, the orchestra also
competently performed "Les
Preludes," successfully carrying
the composition from its pastoral
"Spring and Love" to 1he
emotional "Struggle and Victory

The "round about town boys" are back with music dominating the
week's activities.
Traffic, one of the truly fine British groups on the music scene, will
be in concert at 8 p.m. Wednesday.at the Coliseum. Tickets are $4, $5,
and $6. John Martyn, a solo guitarist, also will be on the bill. This is
Traffic's first American tour in several years and, so far, it has not
been one of their best. Most of their concerts have been criticized as
lackluster events. However, with an album as good as "When the
Eagle Flies," they can't be all that bad. Or can they?
For a different type of entertainment, the Department of Theatre
and Speech will present a group reading from the works of Flannery
O'Conner, one of the truly inspired fiction writers of this century. Her
major work includes A Good Man Is Hard to Find, Wise Blood,
Everything That Rises Must Converge, and The Violent Bear It
Away. The reading will be at 7 p.m. Monday, in Callcott room 015.
The Department of Music and the South Carolina Arts Commission
is sponsoring a performance of the renowned Piedmont Brass Quintet
at 4 p.m. Sunday in Fraser Hall. The quintet will perform a wide
selection of works from the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries, works by
Bach, and a selection of modern brass compositions.
On the other end of the spectrum will be the Blueridge Revival
Bluegrass Band and the National Champion Clogging Group per
forming Friday night in the Golden Spur. If you have nothing to do, go
to the Spur, drink a beer and clog to the music.
The University Union Carolina Couples Committee will sponsor a
dinner dance Saturday night at the National Guard Armory. Dinner
will be served before the USC-NC game from 5:30 to 7 p.m, Dancing,
to the sounds of Carnival, will be after the game from 10 p.m. to
midnight. Chicken, mixers, and munchies will be provided.
In still another field of music, the USC Woodwind Quintet will per
form at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Fraser Hall. The quintet, consisting of
French horn, oboe, flute, clarinet, and bassoon will feature work by
Bozza, Danzi, and Carter.
The lecture circuit still goes strong as Professor Robert Mulvaney of
the Philosophy Department will present a paper on "Leibniz and the
Renaissance" at 4 p.m. Wednesday in room 213 of the nursing
building. Mulvaney, one of the top Leibniz scholars, will discuss
Leibniz's influence on the thinkers and writers of the Renaissance.
The Department of History will sponsor a workshop for students
interested in preparing for the up-coming Bostick Conference on the
controversial study of American slavery, Time on the Cross. The
workshop will be from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday in Room 015 of
Callcott College. The purpose is to introduce the basic methodology
employed by the writers in their study of Negro Slavery.
